Oh no! Not Again Nalbandian! I thought he came to Melbourne with the right motivation. Look what happens. But I wont take anything away from Lu who was fantastic.
On the other hand, it was good to see Del Potro keeping up his good form. He could do no wrong as of now.
So what do you think about Canas against Gonzaloez?
